Unpacking the BPA-1

The Emotiva BPA-1 Power Amplifier should reach you in flawless condition. If you notice any shipping 

damage or other issues upon unpacking the unit, please contact your Emotiva Retailer immediately.

Gently lift out the unit and remove all the packing material and accessories. It is important to save all 

the packing materials and the box in case your Emotiva BPA-1 ever needs to be moved or shipped 

back to the factory for service.

Make sure that you keep your sales receipt. It is the only way for Emotiva to establish the duration of 

your Limited Warranty and it may come in useful for insurance purposes.

Please take a moment to fill out and mail the Emotiva Customer Response card.
